Game Thread FIESTA BOWL: tOSU 21, Texas 24 (01-05-09)

[Bill Lucas]

Interception!

Texas seems to be unable to deal with the speed of Thaddeus Gibson off the edge. Despite the penalty he had a great first half.

 

[OregonBuckeye]

This game is ours for the taking. Now we've just got to take it. That means you, offense.

Halftime MVP's:

Offense- Beanie
Defense- Heacock(see what happens when you bring pressure?)

 

[exhawg]

So far it looks like we are better off when we try to bring the heat and make McCoy throw fast.

Damn we need to score seven. I still have the nervous jitters.

Is this game on ESPN360? Is there a way to maximize the camera that lets us watch Colt's family watch the game? I've seen more of Colt's dad than I have Jim Tressel and Mack Brown combined.

when the blitzes have been dialed up and executed well, it has scared the shit out of Colt.

I think it is fair to say Texas hasnlt seen a D like this all year.

I wasn't sure the Big 12 defenses were that bad, but I'm starting to buy in.

Missouri was put in check, and now Tejas is too.....physical tackling, and solid blitzing is getting it done.

Not sure why Texas isn;t sticking with the quick throws. Not necessarily the bubble screen,. but the 4 and 5 yard sit downs and clears. It seemed to work, but when they try and give Colt time in the pocket and set up longer routes, we're getting there.

And we're getting there with some ferocity.

And I'm enjoying it.

 

[scarletngray]

That's two quarters we have won!

Two more boys.....

Proud of our D!! Let's play mistake free ball in the 2nd half.

:osu:

Agreed.

 

[BrutusMaximus]

Side note: Instead of commercials can we just show Colt's GF?

Is that who it is? DAMN. Guess its true what they say about texas girls?

 

[sflbuck]

Alright...pick 6 coming right here.

A little later then we would all want, but thank God you were right

Surely you jest. Ohio State? Speed? Put down the crack pipe man

 

[Smooth Olaf]

One offensive adjustment I'd like to see is Todd Boeckman remain on the sidelines. He's a nice kid and all, but let Pryor do his thing. Unless Pryor gets hurt, I don't want anymore of these trick formations.

Of course, I reserve the right to take all this back if Boeckman comes in and throws a TD or two.

 

[WaitingforKickoff]

Been saying this nonstop for the past few weeks, but B12 offenses are OVERRATED.
